Dar es Salaam. The Tanzanian government has said it is committed to working closely with investors and mining service providers to strengthen the country’s mining industry through regular dialogue.
The consultations would resolve challenges, improve the investment climate and increase the sector’s contribution to economic growth.
The minister for Minerals, Anthony Mavunde, made the remarks on July 30, 2026 during the Mining Breakfast Briefing (MBB), a forum jointly organised by the Tanzania Chamber of Mines (TCM) and the Ministry of Minerals.
The meeting brought together government officials, investors and industry stakeholders to discuss the progress and challenges facing the mining sector.
Mavunde said the government would continue using such platforms to engage stakeholders, exchange views and develop practical solutions to issues affecting the industry.
He thanked the leadership and members of the Tanzania Chamber of Mines for sustaining the dialogue platform and commended Mantra Tanzania Limited for sponsoring the event.
“The government values this arrangement of meeting mining sector stakeholders through the Mining Breakfast Briefing because it provides an opportunity for constructive dialogue, builds mutual understanding, enables us to receive emerging challenges and jointly seek solutions,” he said.
The minister said the continued participation of stakeholders reflected a shared commitment to building a competitive mining industry capable of attracting investment, technology and capital while ensuring that the country’s mineral resources are fully utilised to support economic and social development.
He reiterated that the government would continue collaborating with stakeholders to address operational challenges and further improve the investment environment in order to increase mineral production, create more jobs and raise government revenue.
Mr Mavunde also urged Tanzanian companies supplying goods and services to the mining industry to seize opportunities to establish local manufacturing plants producing equipment and supplies required by mines, saying this would strengthen local content participation and reduce dependence on imports.
“It is important that we continue meeting regularly through this important platform because it gives us the opportunity to listen to one another, discuss issues openly and collectively find solutions,” he said.
The meeting also highlighted the positive response from investors to reforms undertaken under President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s administration, with stakeholders praising the Government for creating a more predictable and investor-friendly business environment.
Industry representatives acknowledged the Government’s willingness to engage with investors and address concerns affecting mining operations, describing the collaborative approach as instrumental in sustaining confidence in Tanzania’s mining sector.
Meanwhile, Mantra Tanzania Limited outlined its long-term vision for the country’s uranium industry, saying it aims to position Tanzania among the world’s top ten uranium-producing nations once its projects reach full production.
The discussions underscored the growing importance of continued cooperation between the government, investors and service providers in unlocking the full potential of Tanzania’s mineral resources while promoting industrialisation, local participation and sustainable economic growth.
